re: Is it time for political affiliation to be protected against

Perhaps I'll clarify for Leftards showing up to play stupid in this thread.
Last December, one month after the election my SJW CEO was still having a meltdown and taking out her frustration on the entire staff. Mostly on the Veterans in our workforce. A "no shite" hostile workplace. I called her out on her ridiculous behavior and resigned. Within 2 hours, 5 members of our Board of Directors called me and pleaded for me to come back. They asked me to take a few weeks off with pay and refused to accept my resignation. After the New Year I returned. CEO was forced to retire and moved to Europe.
As it has been said many times on PT... Liberals are consumed by their politics. Be a John Galt... producers will always win in business.

Discrimination based on orientation or beliefs?

I would say protection from something like this: Furious Trump super-fan claims a baker refused to make a cake for her Donald-themed 18-birthday party

Sure. Like if a Liberal wanted to buy a wedding cake.

So Breitbart would have to hire liberal writers and so forth.

GEEZ! It's like you boys can't utilize critical thinking. Let's see: maybe from being blackballed & colluded against in the NFL, or being refused service at a coffee shop, or how about a baker refusing to bake a cake for the person (per the link I posted above). I'm not saying I agree with it but giving the crazy leftists in this current climate, it may be necessary.

No. Religious beliefs are specifically protected by the 1st amendment of the Constitution. Designer gay wedding cakes and who must bake them are not.

Dunno. What about not discriminating against a couple with different political beliefs who wants to rent from you?

Yes, your isolated anecdote proves your blanket statement of political bias...
Posted on 12/4/17 at 10:36 pm to Tigerdev
Not as isolated as you think, funny man.

If anything your anecdote would demonstrate that you don't need protection...
Now let's look at some examples of actual protections (Civil Rights) and what led to them. I'll give you a hint: The ending doesn't usually work out like yours without said protections instituted by law.
Posted on 12/4/17 at 10:58 pm to Tigerdev
I agree... most will not work out like mine. In many cases the protections would be the only guards for most. I had no idea what the eventual outcome would be when I decided to fall on the sacrificial sword.
I only shared the recent experience because a few left leaning PTers showed up in this thread pretending these biases don't exist in the workplace.

So, I'm sure you libs would be fine with a company firing all employees that voted for Hillary or those they considered progressives?

That must have been sweet revenge on that bitch.

How is a company to know how individuals vote or even if they voted or not? I've never worked anywhere where that information is widely known. I have worked for companies which did their best to influence employees to work for or against certain political issues. Basically, I just blew it off. I'm not dumb enough to confront a CEO and walk off the job over political discourse. A person like that needs protection from himself.

I have no ill will toward her or her beliefs. I actually hope her, and her partner, are happy wherever they decide to live. My issue was strictly the lack of maturity, leadership, and discipline from the top executive within the organization.
